Video: Rabid bat attacks guitarist while he was playing a song

The bat obviously didn't like the song choice...

The bat obviously didn’t like the song choice…

Ah the great outdoors, there really is nothing that can beat it. Fresh air, plenty of exercise and a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Some advice – don’t go camping in Oregon because it’s likely that you may get attacked by a rabid bat for performing a poor guitar solo.

This unfortunate incident happened to Derrick Skou who was enjoying a jam session with his friends in Clackamas County just before the bat circled him and then proceeded to climb up his shirt and bite him. The startled camper said that the bat returned twice again to have another bite.

Local health officials took the bat away and confirmed that it had rabies meaning that Derick had to get several painful shots to prevent him from contracting the disease.

Does this mean that he now turns into Dracula or Batman? Take a look…
